Yes. Crunch with new field map = angle offsets.

Potential geometric root causes of offsets...
Measured - Calculated(opposite sector Measured) is a negative number for
both sides, therefore: Calculated > Measured. Calculated would be greater than
Measured if the opposite sector also measured an angle that was too small. If the
angle is measured at less than it truly is in both sectors, a few geometric possibilities:

1. Software puts the chambers too far downstream from the target, reconstructs
      an angle too small.
2. Software thinks the chambers are tighter than they are, this would result in
      smaller momentum and smaller angles.
3. A rotation of the chambers would have opposite effects on electron vs. proton
      tracks. The curvature and polar angle would do the opposite for opposite charge.
      But this would violate the Calculated > Measured that we are seeing.

If Doug's straight track analysis is correct, I think any geometric shift would have
shown up in his final plots of the track's deviation from a line. From what I understand,
that analysis has told us whether the wires are where we think they are. And
the results, in fact, were that the wires are where we think they are. Taking on that
information as fact, I think we'd have to believe that our survey is correct and that
the tracking problem probably resides in the code or the algorithm.
